Can you sew or know someone who does? Sometimes in Florida lycra worn under
clothes is a better deal. Check with your therapists. The suits can be
ordered but, they are at least twice as expensive as the Benik ones. Benik
clothes can be ordered with perforations also. The heat is a factor down
here.

He is fisting and he curls his hand under at the wrist. He has little or no
muscle tone in his wrists and hands. They hope this will keep his hands
from curling plus help him with his sensory issues. They are also talking
of ordering him some Benik shorts and possibly the shirt. They are not for
sure of the shirt since the material that these are made of doesn't breath
much and Zachary has a problem of regulating his body temperature and has
full blown asthma.
